Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

The property is beautiful, and we had a very well-equipped cottage. The children and we felt very comfortable. Unfortunately, we only stayed one night at this accommodation, which we truly regret. The breakfast was excellent. The staff were very friendly and attentive.

South AfricaCheck in at the Security Gate was the worst ever check in i have ever done. Please send the Guy for training. Exiting was better than when we arrived. I think they should have a list of guests instead of trying to locate one another, the guy seemed lost.
Breakfast was the Best , Chef and the Waiters we excellent. From the moment you walk in they greet and ask you where would you like to sit. They explain what they offer . The omelet was the best I ever tasted, been around the world both Chefs excel

South AfricaFor a "luxury" suite one would expect a bit more "upmarket" condiments in the room, such as coffee, tea, milk and maybe access to a mini-bar with snacks. Two coffee cups in the room and no way to clean them as no washing up liquid is provided. Only two plunger pouches which is not enough. The outdoor recliners and cushions were really hard and uncomfortable. The pool runs all day and night (noisy) when it would make more sense to just run for portions of the day and not at night. The built in "gas fireplace" wasn't working and would have added to the luxury feeling if it worked.
Very large luxury suite with a great view - loved the outdoor shower. Seeing the giraffes close to camp and the nyala in the camp was special. Dinner was great on both nights, and the staff were excellent.

South AfricaThe chalet was lovely, comfortable and beautiful, but I prefer the tents. The tents are way more magical to stay in, and had a better view than the chalet. Unfortunately, they don't allow children in a tent, so I couldn't book that my family.
This was my second time at Muluwa Lodge. The first time I stayed there, I booked one of the luxury tents, and this time, as we were a family of 4, I booked a chalet. The staff was very kind and friendly. The chef went out of his way to prepare halaal friendly meals for us. The breakfast was outstanding - an absolute treat. The animals walking around the lodge are a spectacular experience (giraffes, zebras, impala, etc.).

IndiaOnly one litre (2 plastic bottles) of water provided per day. Please give unlimited water in refillable glass bottles No phones/ intercoms in rooms makes it challenging to communicate with other rooms and staff especially since there is no wifi in rooms which I didn’t mind that much but the rooms are far apart so need some mode of communication
Beautiful grounds & views and clean & tasteful rooms. Really enjoyed our vegetarian meals, special thanks to the chef and restaurant team for thoughtfully curating them with our inputs. Safari experience (we did the am drive) was great although it is a long drive to the gate and you may spend almost 3 hours back and forth to the gate. The bon fires in the evening added to experience
